For its most demanding activity, the raid, The Division 2 does not offer matchmaking. Therefore, players have to resort to other methods to find more agents, the right clan, or groups. We will show you where to best find German-speaking players in a kind of raid finder.
Why do you even have to search outside the game? Actually, The Division 2 should offer a player search for all in-game activities. The developers had documented this in infographics.
Yet, the Raid “Operation: Dark Hours” does not offer this matchmaking feature – as the only activity in the entire game.
This will likely not change in the near future. Massive is working on a solution, but when it will come is currently still uncertain.
Consequently, agents
- who are traveling alone
- who do not have a permanent group
- or whose team is simply too small for the 8-man raid
must resort to external means if they want to tackle this new PvE top activity at the moment. Otherwise, they will not be able to fill their squad or join any raid team themselves.
How to find players for the raid
Here you might be successful: As all other activities have matchmaking, you will only have to resort to external means for the raid. But who knows – maybe you will also find a squad or players with whom you would like to tackle other activities together.
Clans
If you are not a member of a clan yet, you might want to try it out. This way you could potentially find a stable gaming community and would no longer have to rely on sometimes lengthy searches outside the game. Moreover, clans in The Division 2 offer various other advantages, which is why joining could be worthwhile.
How to unlock, create, or find clans can be learned here: Create or search for a clan – Here’s how you can create yours
If you are looking for clans, you can specify your preferred language or even region. Additionally, clan descriptions often provide insight into preferred activities, play times, and atmosphere. So if you specifically want to raid, you might find something here.
LFG pages
If you are already a member of a clan or do not want to join one, so-called LFG pages (Looking for Group) provide another opportunity to find German-speaking like-minded individuals for the raid.
There you can set some criteria like language, activity, and platform, and the search can begin. Or you can register yourself with your preferences or wishes and wait to be contacted.
Although the selection options here are rather limited compared to English-language pages, there are certainly a few sites that could help you in your search for a raid squad. Here are some examples:
- The group finder from mydivision.net
- The group finder from thedivisionlfg.com
- The clan or player search via gamertransfer.com
Discord
You can also comfortably join numerous Division 2 communities via Discord and go looking for players or groups for the raid in designated channels. Here are some possibilities:
- Discord server of MeinMMO
- Discord server of The Division Plaza
- Discord server of The Division 2 – unofficial German-speaking community
Facebook groups
You could also quickly find something in a corresponding Facebook group. Search requests are regularly posted there. Check out this group:
Forums
Using the old-fashioned route via a forum could also work for finding players for the raid. For example
- in the agent search of the official Ubisoft forum for The Division 2
- or in the “Player looking for Player” section of the forum at mydivision.net
At the White House in the game
This method was born out of necessity and quickly spread among the community.
Since there was unexpectedly no matchmaking at the start of the raid for many players, numerous players suggested on Reddit to use the helicopter in the operations base (at the White House) as a meeting point.
This is intended for the raid anyway, so it could also be used as a kind of contact point for all those looking for more players for the raid.
How you should behave there can be learned here: If you are looking for a raid group in The Division 2, you should recognize these signs
Although it is not always clear whether the players present there also speak German. However, you are often approached by message and can often recognize by the player name that it is likely a German player.
It is not the optimal solution, but you can still gain a few companions for the raid.
Here on MeinMMO
Even here on MeinMMO, you can come across new players at any time. Players often and gladly post their player names and platform in the comments on The Division 2 in search of like-minded individuals. You can also potentially get more reinforcements for the raid this way.
